CAPITALIST GHOULS,
FLOATING Over the Prospect Of II
Bloody Sacrifice.

With few exceptions the capitalist
newspapers are showing the beastly
instincts of their owners. the sub
servlent prostitution of their editors,
and a keen knowledge of the degra-
datlon of their capitalist patrons, by
printing accounts of the horrible de-
tails incident to the proposed murder
by the authorities of Messrs. Spies,
Parsons, Fielden, Engel, lingg,
Fischer, and Schwab, of Chicago. At
the same time the cowardly knaycs
of this class who live in Chicago are
trembling for themselves when they
think of the possibilities of the fu-
ture in the light of what little con-
science they have left. Those ac-
quainted with history remember
'93 and n.
When the reaction comes, and it
is sure to come, these ghouls or THEN
progeny may be forcibly reminded OF
their heartlessness, and it is to be
hoped that their lives may not be
wasted, but that more humane
power may find an opportunity to
use them for the benefit of those who
are now risking their liberty and
lives, even, in order that the work
ing people may be cmaDcipated from
the thraldom of wageslavery and
the domination of masters more crueI
and hateful than the world has ever
seen.

cal ethics

There is great excitement in Ireland
over the imprisonment Of William
O'Bren. He was quietly removed from
the Cork Jail to Tullamore Jail, fifty miles
from Dublin, one night last week.
The Irish National Labor League, Dub
lin, last week protested by resolution
against the execution of the sentence Of
the Chicago anarchists" and extended
to the families of the martyrs their SYM
pathy.
An explosion occurred in the basement
of the Carlton club, London, last Wednes-
day night. The snobs think it was dyna-
mite. Windows broken and four per-
sons injured. The cable dispatch does
not credit the explosion to the unem-
plOyed workmen.
The Pope is preparing the way for a
change of attitude towards Socialism. In
the past we have met with hostility from
the Church of Rome, though elsewhere
it has espoused the cause of the masses
against the classes. Speaking last Sun
day oct. 10TH to 900 French pilgrims,
most of them of the working class, His
Holiness stated that "the present coDdi-
tion of society demanded the intergen-
tion of the State for the advancement Of
the material interests of working men
and their families. ."-LondOn Justice.

FOR CouRsE!
The Supreme Court Washes Its Hands
Il la PLATE.

That the result of the expensive
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States would be a confrma-
ton of the Infamous DEGREES of the
lower courts was matter of course.
1t was a matter of course because
the question involved is a class ques-
ton, and to appeal to q tribunal
composed of the class antagonistic to
the people-the democracy-was to
waste effort.
The following points of the decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court are given
to the public through the Associated
Press. The court holds, in brief:
/. That the first ten amendments to
the Constitution are limitations upon
Federal and not upon State actions.
2. That the jury law Of Illinois is upon
its face valid and const tutional, and that
it is similar il its provisions to the stat
ute of Utah, which was sustained in this
court in the case of Hoyt w. The Terri
tory of Utah.
3. That it does not appear in the rec
ord that upon the evidence the trial court
should have declared the juror Sanford
incompetent.
4. That the objection to the admission
of the Johann Most letter, and the cross
examination of Spies, which counsel for
the prisoners maintained virtually COM
PEELED them to testify against themselves,
were not objected to in the trial court;
and that therefore, no foundation was
laid for the exercise of this courts juris-
diction, and
5. That the questions raised by Gener-
al Butler in the cases of Spies and Fiel-
den, upon the basis of their foreign ma
tionali Y, were neither raised nor decided
in the State courts, and therefore, can
not be considered here.
The writ of error prayed for must CON
sequently be deniel.
Very well. But all this does not
absolve the exalted gentlemen from
from their share of responsibility in
the matter. They have not even
taken the trouble to make a careful
decision, ergo, Il careful investiga-
tton. Nothing whatever is said by
them upon the principal points
raised by the counsel for the victims
of class hatred.
Even from capitalist standpoint,
the execution of these men is fear
full blunder. From a moral stand
point it is crime. The working
people will regard it from the latter
standpoint, and in time they will
render their final decision. Wait.

A SAMPLE LABOR LAW.
Massachusetts Legislators Throw 4
Bare Bone TO Labor,

The politician lawmakers of Mass
achusetts expect great things next
election day from the "poor work
ingman." They have actually passed
a law prohibiting children under
fourteen years of age who cannot
mrite and read English from work
ing in factories. And the legislators
have also provided penalty for the
violation of the law--not imprison-
ment, as is provided for poor folks
who trangress, but a twenty-dollar
fine. We expect to hear Of the la-
Dor organizations Of Massachusetts
voting solid to return these legisln-
tors next election; that is, such Or
CARNATIONS as are equivalent to the
New York State Workingmen s
Assembly" in intelligence and politi-
cal ethics.

ST. LOUIS PRINTERS STRIKE.

ST, LOUIS, Nov 2.-This morning the

ing $50, struck for an increase of 81 per

with one exception, refused to comply.

the college, but among them was AIexan-
der Hamilton, who only left the halls Of
learning to throw himself with all fervor
into the revolution and l-ave a strong and an
abiding influence upon the character and de5-
tiny of our government. On the 10th of
May, IT'S, a patriotic mob very suddenly
broke the connection between Kings college
and King George III; invaded the dwelling
of the president, DR.. Cooper, to find that the
venerable Tory had fed to the British ship
ping in the harbor, and soon after the buid
ing was converted into a military hospital.
In 1884 its character rs a college revived and
its title was changed to Columbia, and in
1887 the reorganization was completed. 1t is
that event which has just been centennially
celebrated, and a pleasing coincidence was
that the reorganized, patriotic and American
college began its career under the presidency
OF DR.. William Samuel johnson, son of the
first president of the old Kings college. The
development of Columbia college since then
has kept pace with that of the city aud the
nation.
On Wednesday, April 10, 1887, an immense
number Of graduates and invited guests
assembled, and q loud call for the representa-
tive of the oldest class present showed that
that honor belonged to Thomas w. Christie,
of the class of 1928 But a little later in the
day the venerable G. r. D~issaway, of 20,
put in an appearance, and after him, DR.,
John D. Ogden, of '23, and Or. F. NJ. Kip, of
70. Following these were Francis Towns

thereafter representatives OF every years

s. Hewitt, of '42, and John Jay, of '4G.
More than 1000 graduates and students Joined
In the morning parade, bearing the college
standard Of blue and white. As tho parade
formed on Fourth avenue, there were many
amusing md some pathetic scenes, as the
"boys" OF anywhere from 1920 to 1860 met
and called each other by tho familiar college
names. 1t was, "Hello, Jim" and God bless

days had not met since graduating. The
classes below 1850 were remarkably well rep.
rrscuted, and as the procession started they
took up the old song:
In Heaven above, where oil Is love,
The Faculty won't be there.
The centennial of such an institution was
appropriately made the occasion for n review

in 1891, to DR.. Frederick A. p. Barnard, pres.

as well hereafter as heretofore, many

pressed these gentlemen to become candi

consented. Should they be elected the

upon. The mart the curious old cathe-
dral, tho new st. Augustine hotel, the so year
old court house and many other structures
OF modern beauty or ancient interest were
burned; but SO much remains that St.
Augustine is still a good place to
visit. The cathedral was completed in 1913,
at a cost of about $4,000; but its antiquity
made it OF vast local value. Indeed, the
cathedral. Fort Marion, tho sea wall and a
few old structures Of Coquina rock really
nude up the antique St. Augustine. The
picturesque remains still lave the romantic
sirroundings-the fort, the blue waters OF
the bay and many places of historic interest
but st. Augustine without tho cathedral
is almost n modern city. We have said that
the place was founded in 1865, meaning that
a fort was built there. Pedro Mirendez
de hviles. arrived on St Augustine's day,
Aug. %, and so named the place. The more
noted fortress of San Marco was begun about
1850 and not completed till 1T5G, all tine work
being done by Indian slaves; 1t is now very
slightly changed and known as Fort Marion.
